Product description...

Military Police are trained to strictly enforce regulations and laws. However, some circumstances pose gray areas and contradictions. These situations challenge young soldiers to reconsider their interpretation of right and wrong and may even prompt them to change their perspectives.

“Everyone is certain they’ve got the Vietnamese figured out, but lately I’m seeing something unexpected. I wonder if we really understand these people at all.” Randy asked, “Is your Combined Police Patrol experience causing you to have an epiphany?” Ben snarled, “What the hell does that weird word mean?!” Randy replied, "Epiphany means you've experienced an unexpected insight or understanding. You know, like you thought one thing and then discovered something very different." Ben nodded. “Oh.” Randy continued, “Maybe you get my point. Somewhere along the road, you have an experience that sheds a new light on reality, which causes a change of heart.” Ben exuded, “I get it! It’s like scales fall from your eyes. You see a new perspective.” Maybe I should keep my eyes, and especially my mind, open for more of these epiphany things.

Author Information...

Ben Thieu Long (pseudonym) was born in Chicago and spent a couple of unsuccessful years in college before being drafted into the U.S. Army in 1969. Ben’s experience in Vietnam profoundly challenged his sense of identity and foundational beliefs. He returned home a drastically changed young man. However, he also developed the strength and resilience to persist in the face of adversity. Insights gleaned from his experience reshaped his courage and moral determination. He learned an important lesson about choices and responses: While a person may not always make wise decisions, they can grow and mature. Ben returned to college as a more focused student. He completed his B.A. in Sociology, earned a master’s degree, and had a successful human resources career in manufacturing, higher education, and healthcare for more than four decades. Ben effectively led organizational change and served as an inspirational role model for many facing difficult workplace challenges. He also coached individuals to overcome troublesome life circumstances and rebound as emotionally and mentally robust members of society.
